People are encouraged to bring their confidential papers and documents for shredding, all while supporting your local food bank, said communications manager Josh Juhlke.

It’s been 10 years since Envision Financial hosted its first Shred It and Forget It event — and still —identity theft continues to be one of the most common types of financial fraud, he said.

It is as important as ever to educate consumers on ways to protect themselves from becoming victims.
